Star Wars warships under EVE Online physics

EVE Online's gates, jump mechanics, weapons, and shields would transform CIS fleet operations more profoundly than they would alter the outward silhouette of individual ships.

Question

How would CIS warships look if Star Wars physics changed to those of EVE Online before the Clone Wars?

Short answer

There is no definite replacement design: EVE's gates, jump support, shields, and weapon rules would require the CIS to reorganize how its ships move and fight.

Notes

EVE Online's movement rules would require gates in each system unless ships had access to suitable jump support. Cynosural generators and jammers would introduce further conditions on movement. The inherited logic of broadside batteries would change, but the answer does not choose between missiles, energy weapons, and ballistic weapons. Shields would also work differently, while fighters are suggested as one element that might remain broadly recognizable. Changing the physics therefore disrupts the systems on which the existing Star Wars fleet organization depends, leaving no simple redesign of a CIS hull.
